Winterwell festival

Wednesday 19 June 2013

Flappers, mobsters, golden girls and sleazy film stars in the middle of the Cotswolds? This wasn't the set for a music video, no way José, it was the twinkling, glittering, completely bedazzling Twenties. And everyone was there for one thing - Winterwell! Aynhoe House was the venue and a gaggle of girls in pearls and feathers and boys in white tie and bowler hats descended on to the estate for a day of cigar smoking, ferret racing and cucumber sandwich tossing. Then, when it started to turn dark, the party really began. Fireworks exploded above the immaculate lawn to the sound of a jazz band and everyone jived along, guzzling rum cocktails and having a ruddy good time.
